Stakeholder Interview
A structured conversation with someone your work affects, built around a short sample questionnaire: what is your most important objective, and how can I help you realize it; what criteria do you use to assess whether my contribution to your work has been successful; and if I could change two things in my area of responsibility, which two would create the most value for you. Seeing your own role through their eyes, on record.
- Asking 'what would you change about how I work?' takes real openness — schedule the reflection time after; the answers land later
